Twomey Cellars Sauvignon Blanc

The Textural, Old-World Elegance of California White Wine

Step into a masterfully structured expression of coastal viticulture with Twomey Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, an ultra-premium white wine that completely rewrites the California playbook. Founded in 1999 by the Duncan family—the legendary visionaries behind the iconic Silver Oak Cellars—Twomey was created to explore grape varietals outside of Cabernet Sauvignon. Heavily inspired by the sophisticated, multi-layered profiles of French white Bordeaux and Sancerre, this cuvée avoids the aggressively lean, green, and grassy notes common in many domestic styles. Instead, it offers a rich, textural masterclass that bridges old-world depth with pristine West Coast fruit.

The architectural complexity of Twomey Sauvignon Blanc is achieved through a meticulous dual-county estate blending program and artisan cellar techniques. The fruit is hand-harvested from a balanced split of premier vineyards across Napa and Sonoma Counties—blending the rich, tropical concentration of warm locations like Calistoga and Oakville with the bright, high-toned citrus energy of cool-climate sites in the Russian River Valley. To maximize structural character, master winemakers co-ferment the main grape with small amounts of Sauvignon Gris, Sémillon, and Chardonnay.

Rather than aging exclusively in industrial stainless steel, the separate blocks are vinified using a diverse mosaic of vessels, typically utilizing nearly 60% to 70% French oak barrels and large puncheons, alongside concrete eggs and steel drums. Subjected to regular lees stirring (bâtonnage) and zero malolactic fermentation, it locks in brilliant, athletic acidity while developing an opulent, creamy mouthfeel.

Taste Profile & Pairings

• The Profile: Luminous pale straw-yellow with shimmering silver highlights. It commands a beautifully weighted, medium body, a remarkably supple, almost waxy texture, and a precise backbone of crisp acidity that keeps it light and focused.

• Flavor Highlights: A highly aromatic, sophisticated nose of white peach, honeydew melon, chamomile, and citrus blossoms gives way to a vibrant palate layered with ripe mango, Meyer lemon zest, Gravenstein apple, and a striking, chalky undertone of white mineral salts.

• The Finish: Immensely long, elegant, and persistent, resolving with a satisfyingly dry close, a fine trace of baking spice, and a mouthwatering saline quality.

• Perfect Food Pairings: Thanks to its rare marriage of creamy texturing and vibrant acidity, this wine is spectacular at the dinner table. It pairs magnificently with fresh oysters, wood-fired goat cheese crostini, pan-seared sea scallops, grilled chicken paillard with lemon-herb butter, or classic Thai and Vietnamese seafood curries.
